Madden NFL 10 - Playstation 3

IMHO, there are some things about Madden 10 that sets it apart from the rest. Firstly, this game is a vibe! If you pay attention and compare the differences between this year and all the other years of Madden, this one is way more rowdy, hard hitting and energetic. There is a slightly darker tone to the graphics and a subtle haze in the air. Its beautiful. The players are constantly talking trash to eachother in the background, the music selection is energetic too. You can tell metal heads were involved, in a good way too. It really reminds me of a time when the real NFL was more violent, but captured and presented through modern technology. The hard hits, colliding/tumbling bodies and gang tackles are just delicious. Sometimes a WR gets hit when catching the ball and i literally react to it like "uwwww!". The crowds baseline energy and noise is higher then other madden where and the crowd remains engaged in the action more then other years crowds do. The game just feels more alive. And with tuned sliders the outcomes are dynamic, realistic, and just outright fun and exciting. Passing is awesome yet appropriately challenging, when tuned right and the run game is realistic as well. Somehow they made football more exciting in the game, with its gameplay and aesthetic then in real life, while retaining the simulation aspect of football. I also make 32 custom teams and started a franchise with all 32. So, I basically have my own football league going on and its a lot of fun seeing how things unfold as time passes. All uniforms and stadiums are customized.. Anyway Its a fantastic game and I believe this title is overlooked despite being very special. No other madden has the vibe this one has. It's raw, atmospheric, smashmouth/weighty, vintage style football. Other maddens either feel too arcade-ish(earlier years) or too clean/sterile and lightweight. My ONLY gripe is that I don't like how the players look when they are running. Everything else is a cheifs kiss. Excellent game!

I am the first person to bash the Madden series every year because of dashed expectations. But this year, they really took a giant leap forward. This is the best Madden since the Super Nintendo days. What makes it a great installment are the much improved graphics, the increased AI, the improved running game, the more realistic pass defense, and the SLIDERS!! Most of all the sliders. You can change any aspect of the game, on both sides of the ball. You can even change the speed of the game if you want to see each play develop more slowly, so play action passes actually have the potential to work for a change. My favorite slider is the "speed threshold". This widens the gap between slow lineman and quick running backs. No longer will Adrian Peterson be caught from behind by a defensive end. You can really see the ratings and differences in players shine through this year. If you have your third string QB in the game, he will struggle with accuracy. Good runners break tackles, and good linebackers make tackles. You will actually notice an improved awareness on star players. Injuries are much improved as well this year. If your QB has a sore elbow, you make the decision to play him or not at his dimished ability. You have control over every single aspect of this game. If you don't like it out of the box, tweak it to perfection. EA finally gave the player full control to make the game the way THEY want it. I'm in my third season of franchise mode and I the only possible complaint I can offer is that in one game I had three kickoffs run back against me. But A) it never happened again and B) my special teams is horrible. It took awhile but they nailed it this season.

ok, Madden is the best football series of all time in my opinion, but there are some issues that I want to be fixed. I'd like to have a wider field view option in which the players are smaller. secondly, it upsets me when on-line opponents call an on-side kick, and you have to call a time out because you can't remember the buttons to reset to a regular kick off return. another complaint is the accelerated clock while playing on-line. if I see the defense is calling a run defense, I'll audible to a different package and the time runs out. I pretty much have to audible to the preset audibles, and not the ones I choose because I will get a delay of game call. lastly, the fight for the ball always seems to favor the defense because when the offensive team fumbles, there seems to be a shock to the player on offense (at least with me). the fight for the ball and accelerated clock feature really take away a lot in my opinion.

I got this game for 4.00. Amazingly, I think this game holds up perfectly today here in 2013. If you don't care abut updated rosters (but you can edit them anyway) this is still a very fun game. I actually prefer it over 11, 12 and even 13. It's just more polished. Make sure you patch it if you can. I was worried Sony couldn' patch this old game, but if you put the disc in and play, it should automatically patch it up before you play. Mind you, without the patch, this game is pretty buggy, so it's pretty important you to patch it. If you need to patch, I recommend doing it on auto. Setup your auto patching in the system settings of the PS3 and let it do automatically. I have mine to setup autoupdates at 2am in the morning. I tried to install this patch manually and it never would complete. So keep that in mind when wanting to patch. auto is your best bet. Or doing it very early in the morning with less traffic. The game plays smoothly, graphics are great, commentary great and it's just a great playing football game. The original guys from Tiburon made this game. After it was released, they left E.A. You'll see when playing it the time they took to make this game. It's very fun. I like it a lot.

Unlike any other game I've played on the PS3, this game does not allow you to play the advertised online franchise mode indefinitely. You can only play the franchise mode for ten seasons using the included code. If you have purchased the item used, like I did, you're SOL. EA sports has now made it perfectly clear how they intend their games to be purchased year after year and have deliberately decreased their features in a manner that makes Madden a yearly $60 purchase. Before I'd do the roster updates myself and get years out of the game and buy a new one when new features were released. Now, you cannot enjoy new features for the amount of time you determine they are entertaining. You must purchase new playing time for features that should already be included in the game. All cheats and accelerators you'd previously be able to earn in the game are now download-able content for a price. While the game has gotten better graphics, somewhat better tackling, and better rating systems (the quarterback now has different accuracies at different distance throws, for example) the game is simply a payment plan to EA sports. --my two cents.

This is great! My previous copy of this game quit working. This was a nice affordable replacement.

WHEN MY SON AND I USED TO PLAY SPORTS GAMS TOGETHER WHEN HE WAS A KID AND SINCE I GOT MY 83 INCH 3D 1080P TV WITH THE PLAY STATION 3 WE HADN'T PLAY ANYTHING BUT GIUTAR HERO. NOW WE STARTED PLAYING SPORTS GAMES AGAIN. I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR BRINGING THAT BACK TO MY SON AND MYSELF. WE GOT THE X-BOX 360 1ST, BECAUSE MY FRIENDS SAID BECAUSE OF HALO IT WAS BETTER. WE WERE A PLAYSTATION FAMILY ONLY. WE WON'T MAKE THAT MISTAKE AGAIN. wE ARE NOW A PLAYSTATION FAMILY AGAIN AND THIS GAME IS TRULY AWESOME, SPECTACULAR, OUTSTANDING AND GGGGRRRRREEEAAAAAATTT!!!!!!

This game was fun to play even if my wife whoops me every time. the only down fall in the game is the way you kick...took me 6 time and allot of delay of games to get it. and when you switch players it can get confusing it the commotion to figure out where you are on the field. and when running the ball it feels like you can't get any yardage. the running game on this game is just awful. ever have those dreams where you are running and you try to run faster but you can only run in slow motion? yeah they run just like that. so in all its not a bad game but its not the best. hoping the new game is better.

El juego tardó en llegar un poco pero no he tenido ningún problema con el producto. El juego es complicado si no tienes ni idea de este deporte, pero no tardarás en aprender los mecanismos y poder disfrutar.

息子と親の対戦ですが、コミニュケーションとれて、ゲームでなかなか良好な親子関係を保ててます。

普通のマッデン プレーする分には問題ないかと 古い分引退した選手とかがいるのでそれに感動はするかな。

Like new and fast delivery great seller.
